"Creating a center of sporting excellence" was one of the campaign promises of Team Gibbs 2017. Recalled by the President of the COM at the start of the year during the presentation of the outline of the Phoenix plan, this project is in reflection class.
“An excellent sports complex will be built in place of the Albéric Richards stadium. It will bring together infrastructure for high-level training, in particular a 50-meter Olympic swimming pool, ”detailed Daniel Gibbs while announcing the start of work in 2019.
Charles-Henry Palvaire, the Director of Youth and Sports at the COM, recently confirmed to the audiovisual team of the COM in charge of producing the TV news journal, that it was indeed a "big mandate project" he was working on.
Pending its completion, the services are seeking to "reuse part of the sandy area to create a soccer field while waiting for the maximum possible, ie a real soccer field, a field of honor with natural grass ”. Once completed, this space will not, however, be open to club training, said Charles-Henry Palvaire.
The latter also confirmed another COM project, that of a sports hall. "The Galisbay gymnasium will disappear," he announced. The sports hall was destroyed by Irma. The COM therefore wants to seize the opportunity to rebuild an improved infrastructure. "The sports hall will be a gymnasium but with related spaces," said the director of sports. For the moment, it is planned to build it in La Savane, "in the center of the territory".
